Read Method (FormSet)

Reads the definition of a form set from persistent storage and stores it in the properties of this object.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
Public MustOverride Sub Read()

'Usage
 
Dim instance As FormSet
 
instance.Read()

public abstract void Read()

public:
abstract void Read();

Remarks

This method reads a form set file, or other type of persistent storage, to determine the attributes of a form set and then sets the value of this object's properties. When it is complete, it sets the HasChanged property to false. The implementation of this method resides in the FormSetFile class or in a class that you derive from FormSet.

If you derive a new class from FormSet, you must override this method with code that reads the Name, FormDefinitions, Identification, Operations, and OtherDataItems properties from persistent storage, then sets the HasChanged property to false. Unless necessary, you should not require the form set file to be locked to call this method.
